Iran lawmaker urges action against Germany, European states over Munich rally
An Iranian lawmaker on Monday called on the Foreign Ministry to expel Germany’s ambassador in Tehran over a large rally by Iranians in Munich, and urged action against other European countries that allowed similar gatherings.
“Expel the German ambassador and charge d’affaires so they do not repeat such mistakes next time,” Javad Hosseinikia said during a parliamentary session. He also pointed to European countries more broadly over rallies by Iranians abroad.
Hundreds of thousands gathered in Munich to protest against Iran’s government as nationwide unrest continued inside the country. The rally coincided with a global security conference attended by world leaders in the southern German city.
